Comment on Surface Pro 9 teardown reveals modular parts, Microsoft’s 2023 repair plans

Comments

modular components: motherboard, thermal module, the Surface Connect Port, speakers, Wi-Fi module, front and rear cameras, and side buttons

Reads like onion. Its "modular" because motherboard is not glued to display and buttons ...

Well my Surface Pro 3 got retired due to a brocken connect port.

The only reason why I bought a Pro 7 was the UBs-C port that allowed charging so that another Bbocken connector wouldnt mean a death sentence.

With the surface pro 9 its worth noting theres only two usb-c ports, and no headphone jack.

Frustrating as i currently use an HP elite x2 tablet and make full use of the three usb-c ports (charging, tethering, and many times a keyboard) and headphone jack. It's fairly repairable too since its considered more of an enterprise-class device, sadly been discontinued afaik.
